• Toei Asakusa Line: Asakusa ⇄ Asakusabashi

Kuramae Station opened on 4 December 1960 as a stop on Toei Line 1 (renamed the Asakusa Line on 1 July 1978). The Toei Ōedo Line station opened on 12 December 2000, making Kuramae a two-line transfer although the two stations sit in different blocks and have no underground passage. PASMO IC service began on 18 March 2007. The Asakusa Line uses two side platforms with a connecting passage at the Asakusabashi end; the Ōedo Line uses a single island platform, set below its own concourse. The station name comes from the former place name Asakusa-Kuramae, which in turn derives from the Edo-era shogunal rice granary (Asakusa Okura) that stood here.

Kuramae is the only Toei subway interchange that requires passengers to walk above ground to change lines; the shortest path from the Asakusa Line's A4 exit to the Ōedo Line's A6 exit is roughly 200 metres.
